Throwing a party, Need to make a Playlist!

[Seraphise]

Anyone have some good ideas for tunes to play. Upbeat stuff to keep it active!

[_chuchu]

Depends on what the crowd is like. Some like hip hop, others reggaeton (hispanics,) etc. What do they like more or less? and do they like to dance?

[Shiroikage]

A party isn't a party without a Phil Collins tune.

It seems like you have some pretty specific tastes. But yeah, more about the crowd and the TYPE of party would be good. If you have a dance room/floor with black lights, and some beer pong tables set up, and you're pulling in a typical college crowd, Aerin's suggestions are the type of music you want.

If the party is a bit less dance-oriented, throw some R&B in there:

Johnta Austin - Defensive
Trey Songz - Missing You
Jay Sean - Tonight
Usher - What's a Man to Do
Ne-Yo - Make it Work

And some tracks that are just good to chill to:

Estelle - You Are (feat. John Legend)
Usher - Pop Ya Collar
Gym Class Heroes - Viva La White Girl
Chrishan - Girlfriend
Usher - Revolver
Three 6 Mafia - I Gotta Stay Fly
T-Pain - Church
Sean Kingston - I'm at War (feat. Lil Wayne)
Ryan Leslie - Addiction (feat. Cassie and Fabolous)
Omarion - Entourage
Lil Wayne - Mrs. Officer
Kid Cudi - Day N Nite
Kid Cudi - Dat New
Maroon 5 - This Love
Marie Digby - Umbrella
Lady Gaga - Poker Face
Akon - Dangerous

A general rule of thumb for most party playlists is to have some mainstream/popular songs in there, since girls usually like singing along <_<

Also, you can never really go wrong with house/house-y music:

LMFAO - I'm in Miami Bitch

Justice - Waters of Nazareth
Justice - Phantom Part II
Daft Punk - Superheroes
Deadmau5 - Arguru
